Twitter accounts?

[Henri Yandell <ba...@apache.org>]

Do we have a process for Twitter accounts such that we can share a login
amongst a project's committers and don't end up losing the account if the
person who opened it becomes unavailable?

Looking to figure out how to manage the apachemxnet twitter account.

Thanks,

Hen

Thanks, Hen.
As with many things at the ASF, each project implements whatever process best suits them. 
I have been involved in the Twitter side of things with some of our projects to help them ramp up their marketing/outreach activities. They had a very tightly controlled process with their Twitter account, and often linked access through Tweetdeck or Hootsuite, with credentials/control kept within the PMC.
I hope this helps!
Warmly,Sally

There's a recommendation in this set of social media best practices:

If necessary to protect it further, the password can be encrypted with
the public keys of several of the PMC members.
Only they can then decrypt it with their private keys. AIUI any of
these can later add another public key to the file.

Set up the account using the private@ address and put the password in
the project's private repo?

I've set up various things for Tomcat over the years. I tend to set them
up using a personal address and then change the e-mail to the private@
address once everything is set up. My primary reason for doing it this
way is to reduce the noise on private@

HTH,
